New 2018 Clomid AND Femara support threads!

Thursday- spotting mainly when wiping.

Friday ( early hours of morning first real lay noticed bleeding on pad when I went to toilet) & medium bleeding all day

Saturday heavy heavy bleeding

Sunday medium bleeding

Monday this morning light bleeding (today is when AF was due as per my regular 28 day pattern)

So yes I take Friday as CD1, is that right?

Yes count Fri. as CD 1.

On the bright side, now I have an opportunity to really buckle down and lose weight before getting pregnant with #2. I'm still about 4 lbs heavier than I was before getting pregnant with #1, and my weight hasn't changed since January. Losing a few lbs will help both my girl sway and my body image. Also this whole time I have been eating a lot of things that PCOS women really shouldn't eat when trying to conceive, and I'm going to change that now. The time I got pregnant I had both Clomid AND PCOS diet going for me, I've been hoping Clomid would work on it's own, but it looks like I probably need the diet too.

Good luck Mrs. E! The weight loss will only help your pink sway as well.

Will do atomic, I will start Clomid tonight, CD5. Took pregnancy test yesterday & today both negative.

We started E4D 72 hour version last night. Do you think that’s our best bet? I feel this maybe our last month but I still want strong girl sway.

Thanks!

Best bet for swaying? Yes. But if this is really the last month you're going to try, don't you want to err on the side of boosting chances of conceiving?? I think you may be better off having more attempts if this is really your last month trying.

Maybe....

Any advice on more frequent bd patterns that still work with pink sway

I'd do e4d plus one more attempt at positive OPK at the very least, possibly even SMEP!

They do sway more blue but it is very likely worth it since if you don't get pregnant, you have NO chance of a girl.

Thanks atomic, I will do just the fmu digital dual Clearblue only, last time I got so worked up over testing with opks it was nightmarish that’s partly why I was happy to do E4D. If all goes like last time i should already be having attempt morning after positive opk (opk turned positive late pm)

What about every 60 hours instead of 72?

I will have to do some reading on SMEP. I might just have Next cycle off then try again. Just see what a month without it all is like...

I've done my fair share of complaining about the moodiness and bloating that I got from Clomid, so to balance that out let me tell you about a pleasant side effect of Clomid: normally AF lasts 7 days for me where the last is spotting. Today I'm on CD 4 and already have only a little bit of spotting l, so that's great.

Nice!

Once we start moving the attempts that much closer together I don't like it because it may sway blue and it doesn't really even up odds of conception much anyway (you often end up with just one attempt in fertile window anyway) I much prefer the regular e4d attempts plus an attempt at pos OPK for better chances of conception.

I'm not necessarily advocating SMEP, it's really more of a last ditch effort. People will eventually get preggo on e4d plus one but SMEP may make it happen sooner, rather than later, that's all.
